Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

Speaker’s Biography
Neal Tyson is currently in his third year at Central Connecticut State University. He is a Natural and Social Marine Science major focusing on Marine Conservation; his goal is to bridge the gap between the scientists and the general public. Neal recently came back from a Marine Conservation internship in Fiji where he assisted in conducting baseline research of the reefs as well as working with the community to improve the health of the reef. While there he also witnessed the degrading health of the reefs and oceans first hand but observed what people are doing to improve the situation.
